I think a lot of people are very down on grading right now, for obvious reasons.
A lot of even mid grade cards have been altered, and none of the grading companies seem to be able to tell, which is their job.
That added to how much money some have probably lost probably makes people a bit afraid and cynical.
FWIW, the Yount looks really good to me.
All the late 70's Topps are difficult with nice centering. I've gone through loads of them too, more 78-81, but lots. I did some set building from vending for a dealer. Maybe 100,000 78's? I don't really recall just how many sets I put together for them. I do know with the way I sorted, I had no sets assembled then the offered a bonus for whoever could fill a 25 set order first. It didn't take me long at all as I had a deskfull of 100 card sections of sets.
In 25K 81's I had only maybe 150-200 were nice enough to even consider grading.
